Each year more than 13.000 high school students in 52 countries come to one of about 215 nearby universities or research centres for one day in order to unravel
the mysteries of particle physics. Lectures from active scientists give insight in topics and methods of basic research at the fundaments of matter and forces,
enabling the students to perform measurements on real data from particle physics experiments themselves. At the end of each day, like in an international research
collaboration, the participants join in a video conference for discussion and combination of their results.

International Masterclasses 2019 will take place from 7.3. - 17.4.2019.
